In one of Devon Inglee's artworks, a teddy bear, the symbol of childhood innocence, lies flat on its back with three menacing syringes piercing its furry tummy. In the background, the bear's owner, a small girl, stands above the teddy eating an apple. Inglee writes, "In 'Tit for Tat,' a sweet girl contently eats an apple while hiding a large syringe behind her back, oblivious to her beloved, yet murdered toy. This piece deals with the process of anger, mourning, and denial associated with my personal diagnosis of a chronic disease." For the 33-year-old art student, this work is about mourning and letting go of preconceived notions and ideas of what the future will be.

When we bring a dog into our lives, we add a new family member to the household. As we provide food, shelter, and love to our four-legged friends, they reward us in many other ways beside the daily face-licks and warm-welcomes after a long day at work. According to WebMD, pets help lower blood pressure, lessen anxiety, and boost our immunities. But what about weight loss? Continue reading
CAPS Blog
We search high and low to buy their quality foods, pay excessive yet necessary medical bills, and once we lay them to rest in peace, we mourn them. Our four legged friends play such an important role in our daily lives that besides being pets, they become part of our families. As perceptions evolve, our companions aren't just animals, but individuals who transcend the stereotypical human and domesticated animal relationship. Thankfully, CAPS members aren't the only ones who have experienced the life-changing epiphany. Apparently, law makers nationwide are feeling the heart-string tugs.
You all know Beatrice, the sad-eyed beauty who was once rescued from a puppy mill by CAPS investigators and became a poster puppy for CAPS and the fight against the pet shop and puppy mill industry. The congenial dog who wags her tail like a helicopter propeller won the hearts of many CAPS members and now, in her years of glory, has her own blog, Bea's Beat , which she's barking for you to visit ASAP.
Bea doesn't want you to gawk at her stardom, though. This one of a kind lady is asking folks like you for help. There are other Basset Hounds searching for a forever home, promising great companions in return for a little love. They come from a place in NY state that is a haven for damsels like herself. Continue reading
CAPS can't get enough of the recipes posted in It's A Vegan Dog's Life. Truth be told, 'tis the season for delicious food and heart-warming baking. Since the previous post was all about pet holiday hazards (make sure you read it!), we have a solution for when your pup makes a threat with those big, sad eyes (you know the look, don't you?). Don't give in by letting Fido lick the batter bowl (or "accidentally" throwing some scraps under the table – BIG NO NO), but make a healthy treat instead! This way, after a long day full of preparations and celebrations, everyone goes to bed with a happy, full tummy and a calm, guilt-free mind.
As many pet owners know by now, there are countless holiday hazards that will keep you awake at night. The friendly people at CAPS don't want the endless, disastrous scenarios to dampen your Christmas spirit. Take these necessary precautions and you'll have one less thing to worry about during the upcoming, winter festivities.
*Magic words: hazard, keep away from, keep an eye on, make sure, may cause

Burying our cherished pets is not a recent practice. Although many claim society buries animals for hygienic reasons, we all know there's more to the story. Whether your favorite goldfish's remains are comfortably snuggled in a shoe box or an engraved stone lies on top of your rabbit's final, resting place, there are emotional & personal reasons for burying our barking, meowing, and chirping loved ones. Think of it as a symbolism of enduring and memorable love, not toxic biohazard. If you research the facts, you'll realize animal-human bonds go beyond life, death, and history. Continue reading
The winter coats are hanging, the leaves are turning, and the oven is begging for some Autumn love. While sweet-toothed, amateur bakers scroll their cookbooks for the perfect apple pie, pumpkin pie, and apple crisp recipes, we're on a mission to get your bouncing pooches what they've been begging for all along: a taste of that scrumptious November treat.
On Wednesday October 28, Boston's Pawsh Dog Boutique held a Halloween Bash to die for. It was no surprise when characters like Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Batdog, Princess Thatcher, and Bea the Chef strutted in wagging their tails. According to the boutique's website , the yapping party raised more than $300 for the Animal Rescue League of Boston . The best part, according to our four-legged secret source, was the costume contest. The judges had some tough choices to make amongst all the adorable contestants, but the votes were cast and the winners were fairly chosen. Continue reading
We all love Halloween: silly costumes, loud parties, yummy candy, creepy jack-o'-lanterns, and spooky stories included (seriously, what's not to love?!). Just because we humans enjoy the thrills and chills that come with the Autumn season doesn't mean Fido feels the same way. The 31st can be downright stressful for our four-legged companions. To make sure everyone enjoys the spooky festivities, read the following precautions offered by yours truly:
Over at Dogster , they have posted a list of tips for those dog-lovers who are photographically inclined. The results seem to speak for themselves! Here is their list of tips:
"1) Change angles
Most pet photos are taken from the perspective of a human being looking down while the pet looks up. Bor-rinnnnnng! Try something different and get down at their level or, if they're moving, pan with them as you take the shot.
2) Stick with natural light. Turn off or cover the on-camera flash
On-camera flashes are evil. They flatten everything out, cast harsh shadows and are the source of the infamous glowing green pet eyes. If you have to use a flash go with an off-camera one and bounce the light off a ceiling or wall.
3) Stay out of direct sun and shoot in the morning or late afternoon
Contrary to popular belief, bright sunlight is not a photographers friend. It wreaks havoc with your exposure and you typically end up with lots of nasty shadows in places you don't want them. I avoid photographing subjects outside in direct light except first thing in the morning or in the late afternoon before sunset when the light is angled low.
4) Don't wait for the perfect moment and don't be afraid to take lots of shots but…
Most of us are shooting digital these days so you can essentially take as many pictures as you want. With pets, unpredictability is the rule of law. You never know how a shoot is going to go. All you can do is be there and hope you catch the moment. This requires taking a lot of shots in quick sequence and culling through them later for the best one.
5) …make sure you edit yourself
Some of the most important work happens after you shoot. It sounds cliche but less is more. It's easy to become enamored of the 100 pictures you took of Spot playing with his new ball but chances are your friends won't feel the same way. Limit what you show people to only the very best."

1. Early musters
No systematic records of the crew of merchant ships was kept until 1747. Until that date, the researcher must rely upon the chance survival of material amongst records kept for other purposes, especially State Papers and those of the Colonial Office, the Treasury, High Court of Admiralty and High Court of Delegates. Most of these records are not indexed in a way which will assist a search for a specific ship or seaman. Details of available sources are described in My Ancestor Was a Merchant Seaman by Christopher T and Michael J Watts (Society of Genealogists, second edition with addendum, 2004) and Records of Merchant Shipping and Seamen by K Smith, CT and MJ Watts.
2. Musters: 1747-1834
From 1747, masters or owners of merchant ships were required to keep and file a Muster Roll giving details of the number of crewmen and the ship's voyages. These lists, which were kept as a result of the Act for the Relief of Disabled Seamen, 1747 and were filed with the Seamen's Fund Receivers at the ports of arrival. The musters are found in BT 98, piece numbers 1-139. They cover a number of ports and various dates from 1747 to 1853.
A few muster rolls survive in other record series, eg those for Plymouth (1776-1780) are in CUST 66/227 and those for Scarborough (1747-1765) are in CUST 91/111 and CUST 91/112.
There is no index to the ships' or crew's names' and they are arranged by year and port of filing. Sometimes they include a full list of the crew's names, but more commonly name only the owner and master and give the number of crew members. The early lists are more likely to show the crews names and against each the amount of money to be invested in the fund. This is calculated on a pro rata basis at 6d per month. There must have been calculation tables but none of these are thought to survive.
3. Agreements and Crew List: 1835-1860
Following the 1835 Merchant Shipping Act, Crew Lists and other documents were filed with the Register Office of Merchant Seamen (the forerunner of the Registrar-General of Shipping and Seamen (RGSS)) and these, up to 1860, now form part of Agreements and Crew List, Series I BT 98.
During this period two main types of Crew List are to be found.
- Schedule C, Crew List (Foreign), was made by the master of each ship undertaking a foreign voyage, and was to be filed within 48 hours of the ship's return to a UK port. The term 'Foreign Going Ship' means 'every ship employed in trading or going between some place or places in the United Kingdom and some place or places situate beyond the following limits, the Coasts of the United Kingdom, the Islands of Guernsey, Jersey, Sark, Alderney and Man and the Continent of Europe between the River Elbe and Brest inclusive'.
- Schedule D, Account of Voyages and Crew for Home Trade Ship (Half Yearly Return), was made by the master of a ship engaged in the coastal or fishing trade, giving the voyages and crew for the preceding half year, and was to be filed within 21 days of the end of June or December. These two types of list contain similar information, but an appreciation of the different filing rules will assist in understanding the entries to be found in the various seamen's registers.
The Crew Lists for the whole period 1835-1844 are filed by ship's Port of Registry; for each port the lists are grouped by the initial letter of ships' names into boxes, but within each box the lists are randomly arranged. At this date, the Crew List will give brief details about the ship, its master and voyages together with, for each crew member:
- First and Surnames
- Age
- Place of birth
- Quality
- Ship in which last served
- Date and place of joining ship
- Time and place of death or leaving ship
- How disposed of
From 1845 onwards further types of list were introduced, and three key ones are found in addition to the Schedules C and D already mentioned. Schedules A, B, C and D all give information which is very similar to that quoted above.
- Schedule A, Agreement for Foreign Trade, (commonly called 'Articles') was an agreement between master and crew, and was to be filed within 24 hours of the ship's return to a UK port.
- Schedule B, Agreement for Home Trade, was the equivalent for the coastal and fishing trade and was to be filed within 30 days of the end of June or December.
- Schedule G, Names and Register Tickets of Crew (Foreign Trade), was a list of crew, with their Register Ticket numbers, to be filed for a foreign-going ship on sailing.
During this period the Crew Lists are arranged in BT 98 by the year, the port of registry and are then grouped into boxes according to the initial letter of the ship's name. To locate the crew list of a ship on which an individual seaman sailed, it is necessary to determine its name - this is not given in the registers of seamen's service until 1854. A search of all the available crew lists is only practical for small ports.
From 1857 onwards, the records are arranged in BT 98 by ships' Official Number (ON). The ON was allocated on registration and was retained for the life of the ship, and was not reused. ONs may be found from the Mercantile Navy List or Lloyds Register, copies of which are available at The National Archives.
4. Log Books 1852 onwards
The Mercantile Marine Act of 1850 required masters to keep a ship's Official Log recording illnesses, births and deaths on board, misconduct, desertion and punishment, and a description of each man's conduct. They were to be deposited after each foreign voyage, or half-yearly for home trade ships. They begin to appear amongst the records from 1852 onwards, many have been destroyed; usually only those recording a birth or death have survived.
Except for the period 1902-1919, where there is a separate series in BT 165, the surviving logs are to be found with the Agreements and Crew Lists in BT 99. During the 20th century changes in form design meant that the log book and the crew list were combined in the one document.
Often all that the Official Log will record about a man will be VG (Very Good) under the two headings of 'General Conduct' and 'Ability in Seamanship'. Sometimes though other details may be found. One should not expect to find any detailed accounts of day-to-day life or the activities of individuals, whether crew or passengers; they limit themselves to information on the ports of call, any disciplinary matters and births, deaths or marriages aboard.
Log books (Medical and Surgeons' Journals) of a few convict ships may be found in ADM 101 and MT 32.
5. Discharge certificates
Following the 1854 Merchant Shipping Act, both the master and seaman had to sign a Certificate of Discharge and Character (E-1) on termination of a voyage. These had to be signed before the relevant port official or the Shipping Master in a colonial port.
These documents were given to the seaman and may sometimes be found amongst his personal papers. Very few seem to have been preserved amongst official archives in the UK, although occasionally a Release (List M) for the whole crew may be found with the crew lists in BT 98.

A Good Heating Idea for a Bathroom
The times, when people used to stretch ropes across the bathrooms to dry the towels and whatever else can be wet in the constantly damp room, are long gone, and in order to dry the bathroom utensils people have invented a compact and elegant construction, which is known as the towel rails.
This is a thing, which resembles a ladder made of the chromed pipes, joined together and either filled with the hot water from the pipe, which sustains the tap, or with some mineral oil, being heated by a special heating element, or, finally, having an electrical cord running inside, which provides the warmth.
A Great Idea for Small Bathrooms
The chrome towel radiators with 600mm wide are a great solution for those, who have wet and probably cold bathrooms. Such a size is perfect for the medium bathrooms, for smaller ones have not enough space on their walls to contain the given size, and for those bigger rooms there are wider ones, which would look and serve better.
These towel radiators can be either wall-mounted or standing, therefore they have special feet. The distance to the wall, which they are fixed or leaned onto, can be different, that is, regulated in compliance with your desire. You don't need to care of the place where to find the access to the pipes with the hot water: it is not needed with an electrical towel radiator. Even being twice as wide as the smallest available radiators of this kind, the 600mm wide chrome towel radiators do not occupy a lot of space, though spreads the aura of the comfort and warmth. It is very important and pleasant in winter when a bathroom may seem cold and unfriendly, and the towel rails can also serve as an extra source of heating.
Many functions and the easiness of usage make the towel rails one of the bathroom's favourites.

Though there's no doubt they're very good films, who could say the likes of Scarface, Oliver! and Casablanca couldn't be improved with a little footage of a cute cat being cute?
Well, pretty much no-one, now we think about it, but at least thanks to the hard work of YouTuber pleatedjeans, we can see what might have been if cats suddenly appeared in Harry Potter, Se7en and so on.
It's catnip for movie/cute kitten lovers, and as we proudly call ourselves just that, it's more than a privilege to share it with you today. As well as this cat-based video slideshow, of course. That goes without saying.

Break It Down: Why Von Miller and Aldon Smith are dominating
The NFL's single-season sack record, held by Michael Strahan, currently stands at 22.5. With six weeks left in the 2012 regular season, San Francisco's Aldon Smith has tallied 15 sacks, Denver's Von Miller 13.
In other words, it's possible that Strahan's record falls. That's especially true if Smith and Miller somehow maintain their paces from Week 11 — Miller dropped Philip Rivers three times, while Smith recorded an absurd 5.5 sacks against the Bears and Jason Campbell.
San Diego and Chicago tried and failed miserably to block Miller and Smith, respectively, using one-on-one approaches. But what makes the defensive dynamos even more difficult to play against is that they're capable of wrecking havoc in a number of different ways, from varying spots on the field.
The Broncos technically operate out of a base 4-3 defense, while the 49ers use a 3-4 starting point. However, the two teams adjust those looks frequently, with one of the main goals being to create pressure on the QB.
How did Miller and Smith thrive in Week 11? Let's Break It Down …
Miller's first sack Sunday came with him lined up opposite San Diego right tackle Jeromey Clary. This was more of a 4-3 look from the Broncos' front, but they also had a dime package (six DBs) on the field.
Regardless, with Ronnie Brown (No. 30 in white) releasing and tight end Antonio Gates split out wide, the Chargers did not have any extra help on Miller. So, this wound up being a Clary-vs.-Miller matchup.
Suffice it to say, that's not a great matchup for the Chargers.
With the Broncos showing that 4-3 look, right guard Louis Vasquez (65) had to deal with the defender lined up over him. You can see Miller here using a wicked swim move to blow by Clary and, once that happened, Rivers was a sitting duck.
San Diego had a similar issue on a passing play later — which wound up being the second time Miller knocked the ball from Rivers' grasp. This time around, the Broncos had a nickel package (5 DBs) on the field and lined up in more of a 3-4 look, with a tackle over the center and Miller wider.
Right end Elvis Dumervil dropped into coverage, helping to pick up Brown out of the backfield. Linebacker Wesley Woodyward, meanwhile, blitzed.
The result was four Denver pass rushers wrapped from the center to Rivers' extreme right. Rivers' primary target here was tight end Antonio Gates, so he quickly locked his eyes on No. 85.
Unfortunately for Rivers, outside of his peripheral vision was Miller, one-on-one again with Clary, using that swim move to blow past the Chargers' tackle.
That swim move looks familiar … where else have we seen that?
Oh, right.
See ya, Gabe Carimi.
That was Smith's fourth sack of Monday night against the Bears, and it was more or less a carbon copy of those two Miller sacks from above — Smith wide to the QB's right, one-on-one against the tackle, with the running back releasing and no tight end help. It's really asking too much for a tackle to handle that situation his own against a pass rusher of Smith's ilk.
Just as the Broncos switched up their defensive looks, so too did the 49ers. On that sack, the 49ers had only two linemen on the field, Justin Smith and Ray McDonald, then rushed linebackers Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks.
That's an approach the 49ers use often, and put to work again late in the game, when Campbell was taken down and fumbled on a play that eventually resulted in a safety. There, San Francisco lined McDonald up over the center, with Justin Smith out to McDonald's right and Aldon Smith to the left.
This time, the Bears had two players in position on Aldon Smith: Carimi and Lance Louis. But …
There's that swim move again. Unstoppable, though on this play, Louis should have been over faster to help — a three-man rush should not physically dominate a five-man line.
Oh, and speaking of physical domination …
That swim move is all well and good, but it's only a part of Smith's repertoire. He's also abnormally strong, especially for a player with the type of quickness and athleticism he has.
Multiple times en route to his 5.5 sacks on Monday, he straight up overpowered a blocker. Here, it's left tackle J'Marcus Webb:
Then, later, Smith came up with one of the most impressive individual efforts you'll see along the defensive line. The play in question started with Smith lined up wide right along San Francisco's front. Next to him, tucked in front of NaVorro Bowman (53) was Justin Smith. Again, the 49ers had only Justin Smith and McDonald on the field as traditional D-linemen, with Aldon Smith and Brooks standing up on the ends.
Aldon Smith stunted inside, with Justin Smith rolling outside.
For once, it looked like the Bears had Aldon Smith taken care of once that occurred. Even with no tight end help and a releasing running back, two Bears' linemen converged on Aldon Smith as Justin Smith swung wide, with another blocker doubling back to take him.
Instead, Aldon Smith plowed his way through the double-team, driving both blockers back into Campbell.
That stunt move can be a killer, because Aldon Smith is quick enough to get inside before the bigger, slower offensive linemen have time to react. Pair that with those same linemen having to account for Justin Smith, and you wind up with situations like this:
That's Aldon Smith circled — he looped around Justin Smith on this play, while both Webb and left guard Chilo Rachal stay home. The other element in play there comes from the blitz San Francisco showed up the middle. By doing that, it forced Chicago center Roberto Garza to hesitate in case he had to pick up a linebacker.
That hesitation left the door wide open for Aldon Smith.
Good luck with that, Jason Campbell.
Miller is equally as tough for linemen to account for, because not only do the Broncos shift him to opposite ends of the line, but he also does drop in coverage on a regular basis. Here, he lined up over Antonio Gates, with the Broncos in a 4-3, then dropped to cover Gates one-on-one.
Later, though, with Miller lined up in the same spot — over Gates on the right side of Denver's line — and the Broncos in a 3-4 look, Miller took a couple of steps back in coverage, then reversed field.
The brief jam Miller employed on Gates knocked him out of his route, and by delaying before diving inside of teammate Derek Wolfe, Miller was able to create an opening along the interior.
Miller's pass rush resulted in an incompletion, with Woodyard and Chris Harris both in the vicinity of Gates as Rivers spiked a ball at his feet. Even when Miller isn't coming up with sacks, his versatility causes major headaches for opposing offenses.
Miller shares that trait with Aldon Smith — and with all of the NFL's great pass rushers.
Both Miller and Smith are enjoying sensational years, and both were thoroughly dominant in Week 11. So, how do you block them? The scary part for offensive coordinators is that, because of how Miller and Smith are used, there may not be an obvious answer.
Those two guys will be looking up at JJ Watt who gets my vote for league MVP.
After the Detroit game, Watt has 14.5 sacks and 13 pass deflections. A PD is just as good as a sack since both instantly kill the play. Watt is doing it from an inside line position, something that you just don't see.
Alton Smith and Von Miller are great players but JJ Watt is 'The Man' in 2012
Sacks move the offense backwards. It goes Smith, Miller, Watt at this point in time.

IS&T maintains a limited pool of approximately 70 student loaner laptops that may be requested by students for academic work in cases where they do not own a personal laptop. Laptops must be returned promptly at the end of each academic semester.
Benefits and key features
The Laptop Loaner Program supplements significant personal ownership of laptops among MIT students with limited central resources to ensure that all current MIT students have the resources required to do their academic work.
Package contents:
- Windows 7 Enterprise x64
- Adobe Reader
- Chrome
- Cisco AnyConnect VPN
- FireFox ESR
- Identity Finder Identity Finder
- MS Office Pro Plus
- Secure CRT/Secure FX
- Sophos Anti-Virus
Students with loaner laptops are able to install software on the machine just as they would on their personal laptop. We do not create custom software images for individual needs or to support specific classes.
The Laptop Loaner Program is intended specifically for:
- Currently enrolled MIT students who do not own a laptop, and need one for specific short-term academic work
- Currently enrolled MIT students who own a laptop that does not meet a specific academic need, which could be met by a model in the loaner pool
Note: These are guidelines articulating the intent and priorities of the Laptop Loaner Program. We may still be able to accomodate your request even if you do not meet the intended applicant group criteria. If equipment is available after all other priorities have been met and there is no chance of interfering with upcoming requests, you may qualify.
Getting started
Any currently-enrolled MIT student can request a laptop from the Laptop Loaner Program. Each qualifying student can borrow one laptop at a time. Once a request has been approved, you will need to present a valid MIT ID when picking up the laptop. Laptop loans are tracked via student MIT ID numbers. If you anticipate the need for a loaner laptop, request one as close to beginning of the semester as possible.
Student responsibilities
Students are expected to take good care of the laptop and observe best practices related to the physical and network security and protection of the equipment. Laptop will be returned to the program in a timely fashion and in good condition before the lending period is over. Students are not responsible for normal wear and tear or hardware failure.
Students are responsible for:
- Significant accidental damage to the equipment
- Lost or stolen equipment in cases where theft was preventable (police report required)
- Other damage due to misuse or carelessness
- Removing personal data from the laptop before it is returned. The laptop will be re-imaged upon its return and any data will be irretrievable wiped. No accommodation can be made for recovering personal or academic data left behind on the laptop once it has been returned.
If equipment requires repair or replacement for any of the above reasons, the student's Bursar's Account will automatically be billed for actual repair costs or a replacement fee of $1000, whichever is lower.
Equipment will be reported as stolen to MIT Police if it is not returned by the end of the lending period, unless special arrangements are made. Students are responsible for initiating contact before the lending period ends and making acceptable special arrangements for the laptop's return, if it cannot be returned by the return date.
Lending periods
You must let us know how you long you will require the loaner laptop. If you need a laptop for multiple semesters, you must return it at the end of each semester and check it out again. Include any special scheduling issues in your request. When in doubt, notify us early of any delays or issues with returning a laptop on time.
- Semester: One academic semester at a time. Laptops are due on the last day of Finals Week at the end of the semester during which they were checked out.
- Fall/Spring: Laptops checked out between fall and spring semester are due at least one week before start of classes.
Faculty information
Faculty anticipating a need for a certain number of their students to obtain loaner laptops through the program may request a "special hold" on a certain number of machines before the beginning of the academic term. We will attempt to set aside a sufficient number of laptops for a limited period of time. Laptops will remain "on hold" for students until they have all been checked out or until the end of the second week of classes, whichever comes first. Students enrolled in the class are responsible for individually requesting and checking out their laptops.
These special requests will be prioritized below those aligned with the intended use of the program, but before any similar requests without faculty sponsorship. An MIT account number is required. Replacement or repair fees are the responsibility of the sponsoring MIT department in cases where laptops are requests for non-MIT students, and will automatically be billed to the provided account number.

Edwards Audio SP1
The SP1s are enjoyable performers but are up against a lot of top-quality competition at this price levelWrite your own review
- A fast and engaging presentation
- expressive midrange
- entertaining balance
- Lack a little refinement
Regular readers would be forgiven for spotting something familiar about Edwards Audio's new speakers, the SP1s. Understandable, as these compact standmounters are loosely based on EB Acoustics' EB1s, an old favourite of ours.
Let's not overstate it, though. Despite the two products sporting the same mid/bass driver, and being pretty much the same size, the tweeter, crossover and certain elements of the cabinet are different.
Edwards Audio SP1: Sound quality
Importantly, they have differing sonic characters too. The SP1s are tauter and more direct in their music-making. These are small, so deep bass isn't on the menu – but the low frequencies are tuneful. The SP1s are fast too, delivering vocals with finesse.
Tonally, they're a tad on the lean and bright side, so avoid aggressive-sounding partners, particularly as the treble exhibits just a hint of coarseness.
And they're up against some tough rivals – especially Tannoy's DC6s and KEF's R100s – and it's these rivals' sheer quality that costs the SP1s a star.

A 15-page preview can be seen here: http://www.heavy-weapon.com/
If you'd like to preorder, just hang on a bit longer...I will be accepting preorders via Paypal soon.
I've been keeping details low outside of the artist and a short preview so as not to spoil anything, but I do have plans to fill out the book as much as possible. I'm trying to get some extra concept art from various artists, and such.
Here are my goals:
- Professional quality hardcover / softcover editions
- Full color cover / dust jacket in high gloss laminate on the HC versions
- Gloss enamel paper pages, if possible
- The book will be B&W (I wanted a full color rendition done, but that's really expensive).
- Art gallery and concept pages, possibly a 'behind the scenes documentary' of the comic/story process.
- Page format will be 8x10 for the hardcover/LE, and the mass run will be 8.5x11 probably.
- Estimating about 200 pages, possibly more depending on what I can cram in there. The story itself is 153 pages.
- Bonus Extras will be included with the Munition Edition, which will be limited to no more than 250 copies.
The reason I decided against full color is because each book will end up costing more than triple the price of B&W each to print (due to full color printing costs). If future/other prints happen, it'll likely be perfect-bound softcover only. I might have additional different covers for the first two runs, but alternate covers are more expensive and I hate passing my costs off onto buyers, so we'll see.
Here's a sample of one of the nearly finished pages:
...and for comparison, this is the untouched "inked" page:
Here's a prototype of the Munition Edition (subject to change, and probably will for the better):
- Ammo Box Packaging
- Character Trading Cards
- Challenge Coins
- Dog Tags
- USB Bullet w/ Digital Copy of Heavy Weapon
- Survival Knife & Chinese Dagge Bookmarks
- Hardcover Book
Items that may also be included, but not pictured:
- Poster
- Mini Book containing "Making of...", and more.

BBV writers discuss Coughlin's Hall worthiness. We also offer you a poll so that you can let us know what your opinion is.
Catch up on all the Giants-related headlines in this morning's notebook.
Giants' coach made wide-ranging remarks Wednesday at the NFL owner's meetings. Read through much of what he said here.
The Giants have abandoned their normal conservative free-agent philosophy. What the heck is going on in East Rutherford? We offer some possible explanations.
This move had been expected since the end of the season, and has now been made official.
Chris Daughtery of RotoWorld ranked Eagles coach Chip Kelly as the 6th best head coach in the NFL.
The long-time head coach is entering the final season of his contract. It is widely expected that the Giants will extend Coughlin's contract. Is that the right decision? Should it be a one-year or a multi-year extension? Vote in our poll.
The hit HBO series Hard Knocks has had trouble finding a willing participant in years past, but that changes this year. The NFL can pick any team to be featured for the show, as long as they pass the agreed upon criteria. The Bears will be an option.
Do you believe the Giants should keep Tom Coughlin as head coach? Vote in the our poll.
When it comes to whether or not Tom Coughlin is the right coach to rebuild the New York Giants, everybody has an opinion. Read to see arguments on both sides of the equation.

Marc van PowerShell is a Dutch but living in Switzerland and is a PowerShell MVP for the last 7 years in a row, he is best known for his blog
and his utilities for PowerShell as PowerTab and the PowerShell WMI explorer.
What is a PowerShell Script Club?
Script Clubs are like a hands on lab with no set topic or teacher. You bring an idea for a script, and ask your fellow PowerShell users for help getting the script written.
Script Club is a great way to learn PowerShell. Ideally, you bring a laptop, your problems, and your curiosity*. Everyone at Script Club helps everyone else get up to speed on PowerShell, answers each others questions, and solves their scripting problems.
Join the PowerShell Script Club and be part of the community today!
Beginner through Advanced users equally welcome.
* computers with PowerShell V2 installed may be available otherwise just bring your notebook along!

The Supreme Court decided in a 7-2 ruling Monday that two lesbian women who have been living together for 15 years can adopt each other's children. This was considered a breakthrough for same-sex couples. "The court must view things from the perspective of welfare of the child," the couple's attorney said. The two women have had three children in the last 15 years through a sperm bank. In 1997 they petitioned the Ramat Gan Family Court for the right to adopt each other's children, and for court recognition of their joint parenthood. The court rejected the petition, but granted them guardianship of each other's children, a precedent that has since become customary. Knesset Member Eli Yishai called the ruling "a disgrace, and a black mark in the history of the Jewish people," and said, "the court's ruling tramples on the Jewish family unit and tears away the distinction between the Jewish people and the rest of the world."

Some NHL teams trade to rebuild for next season, others look to solidify themselves for a strong playoff run. Injuries and lack of productivity can also play a factor. Look for several unrestricted free agent veteran players to be involved in the mix. The moving of players also allows teams to further develop third and fourth line players in a new role as well as call up some talented minor leaguers. Be sure to watch a few of these young guys as their stats and numbers might not stand out at the end of the season.
Do not be surprised if Buffalo, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Anaheim, and San Jose keep their current roster for the playoffs. The following teams may make some trades to solidify a playoff run; Rangers, Ottawa, Dallas, Carolina, Nashville, Colorado, and Vancouver.
The Rangers Coach Tom Renney is still not happy. The team has too many defensemen role playing forwards. Their weakness is scoring especially from the second, third and fourth lines. Look for them to try to address their weakness before the trade deadline. The speedy center Matt Cullen has not been the strong second line scoring threat they had expected. Peter Forsberg has been among the few that have been rumored to fill that second line center position. He could be a great passing asset for the sharp shooting Brendan Shanahan. While Forsberg has been plagued with injuries, he claims he is feeling much better.
Besides the Rangers, Ottawa has also been mentioned to be interested in Forsberg. Although Ottawa is a team on the rise, they have also lacked a strong second line center. The combination of fellow Swedes, Forsberg and Daniel Alfredsson could be deadly.
Dallas is a defensive minded team like the Devils. Veteran Mike Modano is back in the lineup, but admits he is sluggish. The team has done well despite numerous injuries to several key forwards and defensemen. Look for them to add a player that fits their style of play. In terms of fantasy any addition they make will probably not produce many points.
Carolina has plenty of scoring talent. As witnessed last season, they added several players for a run at the Stanley Cup and it worked. This season their weakness has been defense. If the return of Tim Gleason and Frantisek Kaberle are not the answer they might look to trade for another defensemen especially one that could run the powerplay.
The recent injuries to Kimmo Timonen and Marek Zidlicky could make Nashville scramble for defensive help. The Predators have plenty of forwards to spare. Do not be surprised if a right winger is moved. Such a move could allow the talented Alexander Radulov to get more ice time.
The Avs have a good mix of veterans and young players. Peter Budaj has been solid in goal. Jose Theodore could be the odd man out. He could be moved to a rebuilding team such as Florida. This season's additions of Alex Auld and Ed Belfour have not solved their goaltending problem.
Vancouver has reappeared on the playoff radar mainly because of Roberto Luongo. Markus Naslund has not been the major scoring threat he was in the past. The Sedin Twins can only do so much. Brendan Morrison's name has been mention all season long as trade bait. The team needs more scoring if they are going to ever make a serious run.
Last season veterans Doug Weight and Mark Recchi were traded to the Hurricanes with the goal of winning the Stanley Cup. That plan worked. Do not be surprised if St. Louis veterans Bill Guerin and Keith Tkachuk follow that same path. Both have proved they can still score. Their leadership in the locker room can be a key asset. St. Louis needs all the help they can get and will be looking to get some good young players as they continue to rebuild for the future. Blues General Manager John Davidson is very familiar and friendly with the New York Rangers. His good relationship could be the necessary grease to do the job.
With 48 points, the Boston Bruins are within reach of the 8th spot in the Eastern conference. Last season they moved Thornton in the hopes of rebuilding. The likelihood of them reaching the playoffs however is slim. While Bergeron, Savard, and Chara have played well, the team had some set backs that it has not recovered from. Look for them to possibly trade defensemen Brad Stuart and forward Brad Boyes. Many teams look to add defensemen for the playoffs. Stuart can also score. Teams rumored to be interested in him include playoff contenders such as Anaheim and Ottawa as well as non playoff contenders Philadelphia and Chicago. Anaheim may no longer be interested as Chris Pronger has recovered and is back in the Anaheim lineup and the latest reports state Scott Niedermayer's injury is not severe.
The recent trade of Craig Conroy to Calgary for Jamie Lundmark does not have major fantasy value. While Conroy exceeded expectations by scoring 2 goals in his first game with the Flames, do not expect him to keep it up. Conroy had spent 4 seasons with the Flames prior to being on the Kings. The Flames were familiar with him as a player as well as with his work ethic and thought he would be a good, solid addition to the team. The healthy return of Jarome Iginla possibly on Friday will have a bigger impact on the team's top two lines.
The Coyotes have not had the season they had hoped. While Yanic Perreault has been great, do not be surprised if one of their other talented forwards such as Shane Doan or Ladislav Nagy is moved in an effort to bring in new blood and chemistry for next season.
Keep an eye on these youngsters:
Dustin Byfuglien
Carlo Coliacovo
Ryane Clowe
Daniel Girardi

Dressed in his football pads and uniform, Michael "Mickey" Ganitch was ready to play one of the many football games he and other sailors from his ship, the USS Pennsylvania, participated in regularly. They had a winning record, having only lost one game. The date was December 7, 1941, and they were scheduled to leave the ship at 08:00 am to play the 13:00 (1pm) game with the team from the USS Arizona for the Fleet Football Championship. No one could have imagined what happened next.
Mickey Ganitch, Mogadore School Class of 1937, All-County Football team stood out (at only 172 pounds), left Ohio in 1939 after working for the WPA. He went to California looking for work but found scarce work there too. So he did as many other men did; he joined the Navy. It was January 1941. He had no idea what trade he would like to pursue in the Navy; after all, he was a small town boy from Ohio, raised on a farm. So the Navy tested him. He had always been a good student and placed high on the Navy tests. An instructor asked him how he would like to steer a big ship under the Golden Gate Bridge. The largest boat Mickey had ever seen was a ferry boat, so this sounded exciting to him.
The "Pennsylvania" was the flagship of the fleet and was tied up at the main dock in Pearl Harbor. The ship needed repair work on its propellers, so on December 6th the ship went into #1 drydock. It was a large drydock and needed to be. The ship was 608 feet long. Two destroyers, the Cassin and the Downes, were located along both sides of the bow of the ship for repairs. All hatches (or doors) were open on all ships in the harbor for the inspection which would take place on Monday.
Mickey was a small town boy from Ohio, raised on a farm. He had always been a good student and placed high on the Navy tests. A Navy instructor asked him how he would like to steer a big ship under the Golden Gate Bridge.
At 7:55am, the ship shuddered a bit, the telephone rang and Mickey answered it. He was told by one of the men on the bridge that the Japanese were attacking the Naval Air Station on Ford Island. As Mickey was to tell his fellow sailor to "quit kidding", a general alarm went off. All men were instructed to their battle stations. There was no time for anything else. Mickey's battle station was a lookout in the forward crow's nest, so called because in order to get it he had to go up a ladder on a tripod mast and then to get into the small level of the crow's nest he had to get through a small trap door. To get through it with his football shoulder pads on he had to go one shoulder at a time. His job was to wear sound powered phones and report anything to the ship's control.
His was post was about 100 feet in the air and he was able to see over the tops of the surrounding buildings. He was able to report the position of enemy planes coming in and they were shot down. He was well protected with his "pads" on but was able to change into proper battle dress before the second attack came down. During the second attack, the Pennsylvania was spotted. Mickey was at his station.
This time the high level bombers were used and the Pennsylvania was hit with a 500 pound bomb. One hit the dry dock alongside the ship, and the destroyer, Cassin, was hit. Shrapnel from the Cassin landed on the ship and the destroyer was in flames, so it got quite hot in the crow's nest. Japanese planes were flying all around and some looked close enough to hit with a rock – if Mickey HAD a rock to throw. Later, machine gun bullet holes were discovered on the tripod and ladder he had climbed. Whether it was before, after, or during when he was climbing up he doesn't know, but he was not injured. Twenty-three men were lost from that ship that day and many others were injured.
The football game was never played. Later, Mickey learned when he came home to Ohio on leave in 1942, one of his neighbors (who went to a different school) was on the Arizona and is still on it. If the game had been played, they would have played against each other as they played the same position and had done so in highschool football games.
The Pennsylvania participated in many more battles, but it was only hit one more time. It was August 12, 1945 and the ship was in Okinawa. They were still fighting on the island but the bay where they were in was big and seemed safe. Mickey decided to write a letter, and since poker games were going on in the living compartment, he decided to go up on the bridge to write. At about 8:30pm he was almost knocked off his seat where he was sitting. A lone Japanese plane had come in with its lights on and no one fired a shot as they thought it was a friendly plane.
The enemy dropped a torpedo onto the first ship it saw, the Pennsylvania. The torpedo hit one of the propellers on the battleship Pennsylvania. The torpedo hit one of the propellers on the battleship. Water rushed in and up into the living compartment of the Quartermasters. Mickey was a Quartermaster at that time and lost twenty-six men that night. The next morning the ship was towed to shallow water to avoid sinking. That very same morning the Japanese were suddenly asking for peace.
Mickey was assigned to other ships and stayed in the Navy until October, 1963, retiring as a Senior Chief Quartermaster. He steered the battleship Pennsylvania under the Golden Gate Bridge many times as well as other ships that he was on.
In 1953, Mickey married Betty Brumbaugh (Arehart) class of 1938 from Suffield, and adopted her three girls. Betty passed away in 1961. He was single for two years until marrying Barbara Church, a native of Wisconsin. They have been married for 45 years.
Today Mickey keeps busy with various organizations: Pearl Harbor Survivors, Disabled American Veterans, Fleet Reserve Association, Veterans of Foreign Wars, Veterans Administration, helping transport veterans (many half his age!) to their medical appointments. For 44 years he has been head usher at his church and he works with the Anti-Hunger program at the church, and the Masonic Lodge.
Mickey spent 23 years with the navy and often dreams of it still.
"I love this country for better or worse (help make it better; don't just gripe!). It's the very best. God bless you all and God bless the United States of America."

I am sure that in the moment you were just concerned about "doing your job" but I cannot imagine how absolutely frightening that must have been to be posted alone and vulnerable that high up on the ship.
the military stories... totally dig these stories.
For serving. We all thank you, sir.
I just returned from celebrating my Uncle Mickey's 90th b'day with approx. 300 other friends, vets and family members! I was thrilled to stumble on this article by accident. Unlce Mickey still serves his community on so many levels and hasn't seemed to change much in all the years I've known him since I was a child. He's down-to-earth, matter-of-fact, still spry as a fox... and so funny. The family seems to be prone to poignant one liners! I was able to video tape him on this visit as he shared these very stories and others about how the world has changed in his time. Out of 14 children, my livewire mom is the youngest at 87 with Uncle Mickey (age 90 on 11/18/09) and Aunt Kate at 93 (who goes to the gym every morning!). I'm so proud to be a part of this salt-of-the-earth lineage! I wished in hindsight that I'd thought to tape even a few words of wisdom, insights or humor from the others no longer with us. When Uncle Mickey entered his "surprise" party with the 100's standing he simply and lovingly barked, "Permission to come aboard!"
Would you consider posting up your video on your grandfather? I was in World War II, Army, and I love hearing these, us old timers, stories of the war. Ask the kind folks for any help you might need. They are terrific people. Those stories should be seen by all the young kids today so they don't forget.With regards,Archibald Sharron
I meant your Uncle.And Mr. Mickey Ganitch, I can't imagine what you thought afterwards from your spot on the crow's nest watching that destruction all around you.I try, but I cannot. My war was low level. Never got a bird's eye view of anything. Not sure I'd even want to.Thank you for serving Mr. Ganitch,With regards,Archibald Sharron
Michele - happy to help with anything you need. Just use the contact form and we'll get you going. You can keep the videos public or private (allowing only certain people to access them) etc. :)SamSTORY OF MY LIFE
I really liked your story and was wondering it you would like to share it on our website also: www.myspokenlife.com

In honor of Mentoring Month, we take a look at the experience of becoming an hermano or hermana to a child in need of guidance and encouragement.
Mentoring children into life successAs President of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Miami, Lydia Muniz stays busy overseeing the largest mentoring organization in Florida, but it was not until recently that she became a Big Sister herself.
A few years ago, the CEO became a Big Sister to a very inquisitive 9-year old; the BBBS president and her Little Sister, Izca, began to meet for library visits or chat about school over ice cream. Izca's mother, a newcomer to the US, was delighted. "Big Brothers Big Sisters is not there to replace her mother. [Hispanic] Single mothers may have limitations because of language and income. These may limit her capacity, not as a mother, but as someone who can offer opportunities and open the US to her children," says Muniz who finds herself enjoying a beautiful friendship with this young Latina, in addition to having helped Izca join a program for gifted students.
Helping one child at a time
With hundreds of thousands of Latino families with school-age children who are trying to adapt to a new language and culture, there's plenty of work for caring, bilingual adults who can help families by guiding their children. "It's like having a padrino or madrina," says Muniz. But, instead of giving money or material things to the child, the mentor gives of heart and mind.
New Year's resolutions, Latino-style
And it's this type of one-on-one mentoring (with the adult spending an average of 24 months with the child) that's at the core of one of the most successful children's programs in this country, according to BBBS Chief Diversity Officer, Hector Cortez. "Because of the [long-term] commitment, the 1:1 model changes lives. Children are more likely to stay in school and graduate. Mentoring helps the child avoid risky behavior by helping kids raise their self-esteem, feel confident, and reach their goals," says Cortez of the initiative, which is seeking adult male volunteers for its large waiting list of boys seeking mentors.
With the increase of the Hispanic population in the US, the need for bilingual volunteers, and especially for mentors, has grown exponentially. According to Cortez, BBBS serves over 200,000 children a year, of which over 20% are Hispanic. However, only 9% of the adult volunteers are Latino, and even fewer are male. "A volunteer is there to work with the family, not become [the child's] mom and dad. BBBS works, then, together with the family and the school to ensure success," says Cortez.
Mentors wanted
For those who'd like to get started on becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister, the process begins with a visit to LatinoBigs.org (for bilingual volunteers) or the national site, according to Cortez. "You don't have to have [previous] training or be a professional to become a mentor. All you'll need is about four hours per month for a year. We'll provide the orientation and training. Together we can surround the child with support."

Uniforms >The Scrub Shop DBA DRESSCODE
8300 E Mill Plain Blvd, Vancouver, WA | Directions 9866445.624013 -122.587628
M-F 10-630 Sat 10-5 Sun 12-4
Neighborhoods: North Garrison Heights
Awesome for Plus Sizes – Its very hard to find a store that carries multiple colors in sizes 3xl-5Xl, especially bottoms. But Luckilly this store carries many different colors pants in 3-5xl so I got lucky :) I walked in and didnt know where to find them and a store associate (didnt get her name) took me right to them. VERY CUTE christmas scrub tops, I'll be back!!!!
Personal Service – Nancy has helped me get the right uniforms for my new job. She knows what styles will work for me and what ones won't. She has also called me when there's something new in she thinks I'll like. I love that kind of service.
Best shop I've been to – The shop these reviews are commenting on seems like another store. I went in and was immediately approached with help. That mother daughter team was terrific! I have had their products for a couple months now and they haven't even faded let alone rip out. I give them two thumbs up!
Don't bother... – They are one of the only places to carry in stock tall sizes, however, the selection is small. They do not have a variety of sale items, and it is hands down the worst customer service I have ever had. The owner is rude and I won't be back.
Make the drive to Portland instead- you'll be much more satisfied.
Where is your Website? – No "store front" of the company available. It would be really nice to review a catalog of apparel and other items that you sell.
Worst customer service ever – I bought a nice pair of expensive scrubs from Scrub Shop. The told me all about how well they stand behind the products they sell. That expensive pair tore out the pocket after just 7 hours. Now they tell me how little they can do for me. I won't be back!
The Scrub Shop is under new management. We stand behind all our products with regard to quality. If you are interested in trying us out again, we would be glad to help you find your perfect fit. If you have any problems with our products being defective in the future please bring them into the store so we may rectify the problem. I apologize personally for this negative experience, we hope to see you again. Visit our facebook page for the latest on whats new in our store.
The Price is Right! – ...and so is the customer service. I met both the owner and her sister (who helped me) both were so personable. They have a great selection and it didn't cost me a fortune to upgrade to a few size SMALL (!!!) scrub sets.
My fav place to shop – They have good prices and a great selection. I am 5'9, and it is difficult to find pants that fit, and they have a ton of tall pants to chose from. I enjoy the customer service, they have given me new styles to try on (that I would have not considered if by myself) and I loved the fit!! Thanks for helping me out of a style rut!!!
Good experience – Love this place!!! I have always found great scrubs to wear, and I get compliments at work. The staff is really nice and very helpful.
Best selection and staff! – Was referred by a friend. The selection was huge, every style , color, and brand you could think of.. even had large variety of the cancer awareness scrubs for ovarian , breast, etc. Cure Scrubs. prices were good. Staff very friendly. Couldn't ask for more! Everyone I mention this store to has loved it also.

Fire destroys Bethlehem home
BETHLEHEM -- Matthew Gagnon awoke early Monday to the sounds of a fire alarm and wooden trusses crashing from the roof to the floor above him.
Jerked awake from sleeping on a couch in a finished basement, he escaped a fire that destroyed most of his home at 96 Judge Lane early Monday, and felt relieved that all he lost was a house and much of its contents.

St. Swithun's Day
St. Swithun, Bishop of Winchester, was born around the year 800 and died on 2nd of July 862 at Winchester (Hampshire). He was, say the chroniclers, a diligent builder of churches in places where there were none before and a repairer of those that had been destroyed or ruined. St. Swithun was buried, according to his own desire, in the churchyard of the Old Minster (Cathedral) at Winchester, where passers by might tread on his grave and where the rain from the eaves might fall on it.
His reputation as a weather saint is said to have arisen from the translation of his body from this lowly grave to its golden shrine within the Cathedral, having been delayed by incessant rain.
The meteorological interpretation is quite straightforward. The position of the frontal zone around the end of June to early July, indicated by the position of the jet stream, determines the general weather patterns (hot, cold, dry, wet) for the rest of the summer. Like a little stream in its bed, the frontal zone tends to 'dig in' shortly after the summer solstice.
Try and prepare your own summer forecast with our expert maps. The 500mbar maps usually give a good idea about the position of the frontal zone. Have a look at them over the next two weeks and produce a DIY summer forecast valid until mid-August with a confidence of 70 to 80%.
No wonder the St. Swithun's day rule is also know in other western European countries. In France they say Quand il pleut a la Saint Gervais Il pleut quarante jours apres - If it rains on St. Gervais' day (19th of July), it will rain for fourty days thereafter.
